This was a great story if you were a fan of both the original Star Trek and the 1968 TV series Here come the Brides. Ms. Hamby takes two unlikely series and combines them in a perfectly logical riveting story of how two of the Brides characters became Spock’s ancestors, while also preventing the take over of earth in late 1800’s, with the help of Spock who winds up out of his time. I somehow missed this book when it first came out in the 1980’s and just discovered it. There are few books I read that I could barely put down, but this was one of them. I am planning to read it again.
